If you've ever had to deal with a sociopath, were they paranoid and refused to leave you alone once you figured them out

so i haven't spoken to my sociopathic brother in 4 years. till this day him and his wife go out of their way to convince others not to talk to me. everytime there is a family gathering they will jump to the craziest conclusions and make a big deal out of nothing. for example the other day when we were celebrating xmas i sat at the table to eat and there was my brother and one of my aunts. near by was his wife. no body was talking so i began a small conversation with my aunt. all of a sudden my brother decides he wants and to conversate with my aunt. but he wasn't saying anything meaningful. just "so what else is new?" he asked her this so many times because he just couldn't stand seeing me and my aunt having a converstaion. then once he stopped his wife started. my brother ended up leaving the table (he was not even eating) and singing a song throwing a indirect hint to me. a spanish song that sais "jesus told me to laugh if the enemy insist on racing me" he was using that tactic "gaslighting" i read about lol i just don't understand why he is so obsessed with me

    I have met a few who have sociopathic tendencies- can't be sure of the extent.
    I have found that those types usually want to be around me as long as I am buying into their "cover" or whatever image they have for themselves. As long as I accept their version of things, I can be used. Once I start figuring things out or appealing to reality, they don't want to be around me.

    Separating you from other relationships is one thing sociopaths do.

    Most of my ex and his family are sociopaths. They don't know they are. They sit around and talk about how everyone else is. They talk about each other... they all think that it's everyone else and not them. It's actually funny now that I'm not in the middle of all that anymore.

    There are a fair number of sociopaths that straighten out their lives when they are around 40. It's like they run out of energy or something.
